12 - I leave before someone kills me.

Recently, I've started leaving when I'm partied with people who have pissed me off by leaving during the first few seconds in earlier matches, even if I'm in a party that looks really promising. I'm not going to help some a-hole score easy Gladiator points, even if I'm cutting my own throat.

As soon as it becomes clear that the team I am on isn't going to win.
Cut the match shorter, find another group. Win all round.

Nobody in our guild leaves a group hanging. Win or lose, we battle it out and learn from it.
Fox Reeveheart
the answer is simple... you leave as soon as you have 10 wins in a row.... then you got 1 point towards the gladiator title... no use doing more after that...
quit then start anew
quit then start anew

I never leave, once i had a 83 min RA Match between my monk and somone elses,
Kalki
For me it's:
option 1 - 85% of the time
option 2 - 10% of the time
option 10 - 4% of the time
option 11 - 1% of the time
People that choose option 3 should be hung.

When monking:
If I don't get a reliable damage dealer... I don't care for 10 minute games.
if there's another monk on my team
if someone on my team starts saying how awesome their build is even though it's complete crap. it just annoys me
I tend to wait till the match is over before i leave - rarely drop on people when the match loads.
I don't think there's much wrong with leaving given the terrible states of random arenas, if people didn't run some of the most downright awful crap possible people probably wouldn't feel the need to leave.

To the OP, a few other options to include -
15 - I leave when I've used my res sig and am the last man standing vs more than 2 enemies.
16 - I leave when my team and I are dropping like flies and the enemy team has yet to have anyone go under 80% health.
17 - I leave when I'm the monk and we're slightly disadvantaged against another 1 monk team team, despite the fact that we're up on kill count and the warrior on my team is smart enough to kite the touch ranger while waiting for blind and price of failure to clear before attempting and succeeding to kill the enemy monk a 3rd time just after I leave.
9, 15, and 16 are for me, 17 is for some rage-quit monk that goes "QUIT RUNNING AROUND AND KILL THEM" despite the fact that someone IS killing them and we have had only 1 death.

The Real Roy Keane
I don't leave. It's not a matter of 'honour' or anything; that's non existent in an online computer game, I just don't like quitting, so instead of moaning about it like most people, I passively resist and stick around. Stupid, but true.
Teklord
Not that I RA very often, but when I do I generally don't leave. Its a game and sometimes you win... but sometimes you don't. I guess some people just can't stand seeing "You Lose" on the screen.
The only way I'd ever drop out early is if someone is being a real frakker. Usually takes alot to get to me, at least in comparison to other people I've seen online.

I'm suprised so many people here actually leave for such stupid reasons.
I stay untill the end of the game almsot always. Exceptions are if I am dead for a long time, no res incoming and my team seems to be loosing, since they won't res me their is no loss on their part if I stay or leave. Another exception is if a match just drags on forever, for example when there are two monks on both sides and no team scores a kill in 10 minutes.
However, once the game is done, i.e. your team has won I will leave for many reasons - idiot builds, no resses, bad attitude...
If your team won't suffer from you leaving I think it is ok, otherwise you shouldn't leave! Leaving because you don't like your teams setup is just waisting other peoples time. It's freaking RANDOM arena, go to TA if you can't stand being in a team without a monk.

2) Commucation is great, if it's your job to help then do that job. If not, don't feel you have too.
3) I've always been insulted whenever I've given advice.
4) Your little story about warriors changing sounds like the time Jessica Alba came to stay with me. We had such a wonderful time. Then I woke up.
4 points you should think about very much!
I find it hard to tolerate ignorant, stupid nubnubs anymore. I do not blame anyone for leaving when they see mending. It's ridiculous.

A mending wammo = a loss (usually) with no fun.
I leave if someone types "helo plz i hop3 u brught da rez".
If I saw someone in real life at a computer typing that, I'd get a knife shove it through their chest to their backbone...
Sorry but that's just me.

I'll leave if afkers are on the team, because I don't wanna give faction to bots or leachers.
When I'm monking, I'll leave if the other team also has a monk and both our teammates suck too much to kill the other, or if I'm in a 2 monk team against another 2 monk team.
For stupid teammates or if I'm on a 2+ healer team, I'll leave after the match is over.

Shadow of Light
I did forget to add something about afkers, so sorry about that. 
I'd put that under 7, personally. I know there's a difference between build and class, but the point's essentially the same.
Again 7. They're running their character in a way you don't like.
I suppose I could add a 'Dislike the team composition' point.
So that's 3 then.
4.
Don't understand. But if you think you're disadvantaged against the other team, 4, perhaps.
I was going to put that option in the list, but didn't want to think people actually did that deliberately.

i dunno why everyone hates on mending wamos in RA...i mean its RA... your build has so little to do with the actual success of your team.... not to toot my own horn, but i am an excellent gw player, and there have been many an evening where i have dominated in RA with a premade paladin (r.i.p old premades), only thing i change is rez sig instead of restore.
TheLordOfBlah
Ill leave if theres a leecher, 55, wammo with mending, an idiot, spammer
jimmyhats
back on topic... ill leave if im dead, i know there arent any rez sigs left, and my surviving teammates have no chance whatsoever, or if all 3 of my teammates leave / are afk.
Victim
Generally, I don't leave until the game kicks me out (case 1), but I have quit before when one person drags out the game and killing them doesn't seem to be viable (11). I don't like to quit, but I'm not to be held prisoner by my preference. Usually however, killing some jerk who is prolonging the game is feasible with attrition or a timely body block.
I'm not sure why there's so much hate for 2 healer teams. Granted, if the other two characters are offense poor, the team will have problems. Having only 1 healer carries its own problems since shutting down one person can leave the whole team vulnerable.

elektra_lucia, your point is quite good one. But I still think you have a responsibility towards the others. It is not just your fun that counts but theirs as well (even if they for some uncomprehensible reason find fun in mending and healing hands...).
Sciros Darkblade
What is with all of the hate on mending in this thread? "If I see a wammo with mending, I leave" and others are backing them up on this!? I don't know what your deal is, but I have seen quite successful warriors run mending. It's not an amazing skill, but it is far from something that makes or breaks a build. I think that anyone who leaves simply because they see a warrior on their team use mending is at the very least as big a "n00b" as that warrior, and likely even more so.

Mending won't make or break the build alone, but I'd say the vast majority of the time it means the person playing the warrior does not have a clue what his task is in PVP - Mending normally comes along side Healing Breeze, Healing Hands.... Bonetti's Defense, and no skills that can actually kill anything... they think they are tanks. And when it comes to the time that the enemy team has a monk who doesn't suck, he won't be able to kill anything, he'll lack the increased attack speed (can't frenzy, that's like double damage yo), he'll have no form of knockdown, and the monk will just lol and cast guardian all day, and you'll get a 20 minute match because you have a bad warrior.
I don't really consider it elitism or whatever leaving on these people... Frankly when I RA I want to actually get somewhere, maybe some people do run succesful mending warriors, actually, occasionally... i've seen people who just use it for their only heal but can actually kill, while i really don't see the point in them using it they do seem to understand their job somewhat... but this is such a rarity. Most people who run it, run it because they want to tank.
But Mending has nothing on Dolyak Signet as far as being a bad PvP warrior goes
audioaxes
mending can be part of an ok ra build: a mending/vicariously battle rage warrior but the vast majority of the time 99.9% its a complete noob with a stupid build and a knights helmet thats going to attack the enemy warrior
